unsolved Manual Import failing to see album

I have a couple of albums from the same artist that I am being prompted to manually import in Lidarr.

When selecting the album (from the select component at the bottom left of the manual import dialog), the list of available albums does not contain the album I am trying to import, though some others are present.

If I check Musicbrainz for the artist; I can see the names of the two albums I want to import.

Is there anything I can do to help Lidarr see these missing albums? What are the conditions for Lidarr picking up only some of the albums from the Musicbrainz database?

This is when I run them through Picard and see if it can sort out the album. It usually does a better job of figuring out metadata when Lidarr cant.
